XI SUMMARY
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> This study explores the realm of a Knowledge Engineering approach to Natural Language Understanding. A basic core of NL rules enable the NLU expert to input his natural language rules and his lexicon into the semantic network knowledge base in natural lan~uame. In this system, the rules and assertions concerning both semantic and syntactic knowledge are stored in the network and undergo interaction during the deduction processes.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> An example was presented to illustrate: entry of the user's lexicon into the system; entry of the user's natural language rule statements  into the system; the types of rule statements which the user can utilize; how rules build conceptual structures from surface strings; the use of knowledge for disambiguating surface structure; the use of later information for disamhiguating an earlier, partially understood sentence; the question-answering~generation facility of the NL-system.</Paragraph>
